tips on how to prevent heavy rains from destroying your plants

1. Raindrops can do a lot of damage to plants and soil if they’re moving at full-speed, so anything that slows them down will help

2. Avoid planting trees near your crops; Branches can break during storms, and the whole tree could even fall if the wind is strong enough

3. ay mulch around the base of your plants to protect the soil. Get an organic mulch and spread a layer 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) thick around all of your crops. This slows the rainfall and helps prevent soil and root damage during heavy storms.

4. If you have any hills or raised areas around your crops, then rainwater could flow down and drown your plants. Planting some trees and shrubbery around these spots will block some of that water and prevent harmful runoff

5. get deep terraces to get the running water ,run from the crops, it also stores some water making the crops around the terrace ever green

6. Moist, warm conditions are ideal for mold to grow, so your plants are at risk right after a storm. Check your crops regularly after heavy rains until everything dries out. Look for dark, bruised spots, which could mean mold is starting to grow

7. Prune damaged crop limbs when the plants are dry. Damaged sections are more susceptible to mold and disease, so prune those parts back if you see any. But wait until the plants are dry before pruning, since moisture helps mold grow

8. void stepping on flooded areas to prevent root damage. The wet soil is softer, so stepping on it compresses the plant roots and could damage them. Until the soil dries out, walk on it as little as possible

9. Wait until next season to fertilize again. You might think that re-fertilizing your crops after rain is a good idea, but it actually won't help them recover any better. Wait until the next planting season to apply more fertilizer, as you normally would at the beginning of each season
